Abstract

This work presents the design and analysis of a quasi-optical coupling system of high efficiency for terahertz heterodyne receivers. The 110-GHz local-oscillator signal and the 220-GHz radio-frequency signal, are combined via a frequency selective surface (FSS) and effectively coupled into the receiver antenna module with the help of an ellipsoidal reflector. The full-wave electromagnetic analyses are carried out and the simulation results have validated the effectiveness of the quasi-optical design. Such design can be applied to cryogenic receiver systems.
